Judging by statistics, 72 percent of Internet users first tend to solve their health-related doubts by looking for symptoms on the Internet.

Experts advise that it is better to stop looking for symptoms on the Internet and that it is definitely better to visit a doctor and solve all doubts with him.

What are the top five health-related questions from Google that plague people around the world?

1. IS THERE ANY WAY TO STOP SNORING?

Snoring occurs when your airflow is blocked. Some of the simplest tricks to stop this annoying phenomenon are certainly changing the sleeping position, but also avoiding alcohol. Namely, if you sleep on your stomach or side, and not on your back, you are less likely to snore. If you have come across information somewhere that snoring can be prevented with different sprays, that is not true. Snoring happens because, among other things, the muscles in the throat are too relaxed and no spray can help.

2. IS COFFEE BAD FOR HEALTH?

Many studies have shown how coffee can benefit your health, especially when it comes to heart health. However, as in everything, one should be moderate in the consumption of coffee. Too much coffee will definitely not bring you well-being, quite the opposite.

3. WHAT IS THE PERMITTED DAILY AMOUNT OF SUGAR?

Experts advise that less than 10 percent of daily calorie intake comes from sugar. That is, it is less than 200 calories or if it is easier for you in terms of grams, less than 50 grams per day. You can often come across advice on how to cut out fruit too, as it is also full of sugar. However, these tips never apply to fruit.

4. HOW TO GET RID OF FAT DEPOSITS?

Short and intense trainings can help you in this. Namely, the easiest way to get rid of fat deposits is through high-intensity training in combination with diets. If you have similar problems, definitely forget about easy running.

5. WHAT IS THE SECRET IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CELLULITE?

It is an unpleasant phenomenon that almost every woman, but also men, suffers from. It is a subcutaneous fat tissue deposit, a condition in which fat and toxins accumulate under the skin. Cellulite will be hard to get rid of. There is no magic cure and it doesn't go away overnight. The best thing you can do is also the most difficult, and that is to change your lifestyle by starting to eat lower-calorie foods, in addition to which you will exercise daily, reports Men's Health.
